### 5/5 — Pls update this beautiful app:

*2023-07-09*

I love this app, and still use it. It would be great to see it work on a modern iPhone. Thanks :)

### 5/5 — I love this app! Please update it!

*2022-11-24, version 1.3.3*

I really like the functionality and look of this app. It just needs a little update! Thank you!

### 1/5 — Do Not Purchase

*2022-10-01*

No updates for 7 years and can’t work well on iOS 16

### 1/5 — not really creating alarms

*2022-09-26*

i bought this specifically to be able to set alarms at different time zones. This app creates events in your calendars and not real alarms. So if I want a daily alarm, it will create daily events in my calendar. I can do that without an app! paid for it but uninstalling it right away.

### 4/5 — Updates?  iOS 15?

*2021-10-13, version 1.3.3*

Will this app ever get an update?  Has the developer abandoned this app?

### 4/5 — Please update my favorite app!

*2021-03-17, version 1.3.3*

This is my all-time favorite and most useful app to track time zones and help me call colleagues and customers around the world. Please update it with full-screen mode for the latest iPhones and with widgets for the latest iOS. I’d pay for the app or subscription; the app is that good!

### 2/5 — Broken on iOS13+

*2020-09-17*

Beautiful app, but broken UI on iOS13+ and larger screens.

### 2/5 — Buggy and not updated

*2020-05-19*

Should have realised it’s been years since this has been updated before I paid my $1.40! Gets stuck on certain screens, you can’t delete cities ok the main screen and so it’s pretty annoying to use. Off to search for a newer app that does the job. It’s a shame because it’s pretty!

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2019-04-30, version 1.3.3*

This would be perfect if there was an option to set reoccurring alarms. I travel a lot through different time zones. I was hoping the alarm feature would help remind me to take my medications at the same time daily in my home time zone. It's a really great app with a gorgeous interface otherwise

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-12-06*

This is a great App, that is also visually appealing. It’s extremely easy to “drive” and navigate.
